🎁 My FINAL VIDEO With a CHRISTMAS Twist! 🎁| PARADOX - The Tao of David

[@davidostrowski679]

🇬🇧 That's all, folks! I'm now moving on to different things in life, at least for the next year. As I've said before, this may not be goodbye forever, as I may return to this channel at some point. In the meantime, I'll still be around in some format (to be announced!). I hope you understood the themes and meanings alluded to in this video. It may all seem VERY contradictory, but that was the whole point. Life is contradictory, there is no end, and really, no one has a clue what they are doing! If you would like to know more about the making of this video and a full list of 'easter eggs', hidden meanings, and symbolism throughout (seriously), *click on this link* - docs.google.com/document/d/1jv2dVlR3NXDHGUqo91HvD5dZdPXImDK9paRzeDlDM1E/edit See you later! 🇲🇽 ¡Eso es todos, amigos! Ahora estoy pasando a cosas diferentes en la vida, al menos durante el próximo año. Como he dicho antes, este puede no ser un adiós para siempre, ya que es posible que regrese a este canal en algún momento. Mientras tanto, seguiré estando disponible en algún formato (¡por anunciar!). Espero que hayan entendido los temas y significados a los que se alude en este video. Todo puede parecer MUY contradictorio, pero ese era el punto. La vida es contradictoria, no tiene fin y, en realidad, ¡nadie tiene idea de lo que está haciendo!

Hola hola David First of all! ¡Feliz año nuevo, happy new year 2023¡ I just thought of you at this sleepless early morning moment as YT hasn't sent me notifications for a while (but if you like something [or someone] you make an effort!) anyway, sad to learn about your decision but it's all good as we need to adapt to times, places, moments and oneself You've been my favourite YTer for a while and yes it's hard to learn and grasp the actual happening without a shock but it's a new year and a new beginning as well so it's understandable and we'll see where this new year takes us for new adventures and surprises I'm glad for you that you were able to travel, see, enjoy and live so many things in the past year with ups and downs (as it's the only way to grow and value things around us) you are a nice person (flaws and strengths included!) and I wish a even better year for you to enjoy ahead of you Whatever and wherever you do and go in the months to come I wish all the best and blessings too You be good take good care and a big hug for you along your way and I found this for you Traditional Irish Blessing May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm on your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. May God be with you and bless you, May you see your children’s children. May you be poor misfortune, Rich in blessings, May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward. May the road rise to meet you May the wind always be at your back, May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home, And may the hand of a friend always be near. May green be the grass you walk on, May blue be the sky above you, May pure be the joys that surround you, May true be the hears that love you. And a second version too! May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm on your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you May there always be work for your hands to do, May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane, May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you, And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. May you live as long as you want, And never want as long as you live. Always remember to forget The troubles that passed away. But never forget to remember The blessings that come each day. Tis better to buy a small bouquet And give to your friend this very day, Than a bushel of roses white and red To lay on his coffin after he’s dead. May the blessings of each day Be the blessings you need most. Wherever and whenever ready David you'll have people loving you and waiting for you when that happens Blessings dear David And for sure I will see you in another video! (There's a long list still to watch!) Hasta luego y feliz año nuevo!

[@jj-bp3fr]

I'm sure you'll be back, goodbyes are never forever. Blessings for an amazing strong person who showed us how marvelous the world is.

[@tvl9971]

Very emotional and sad also. We all hope you do come back, this channel is the best travel channel in youtube, your charisma and screen presence has made it a success.

[@davidostrowski679]

Thanks man! Right now I'm taking a little break (from everything) before focusing on new things. If I do come back for a reboot, it will probably be very different. I mean it's something I can do, but if I wanted it to be something more serious I'd have to change it to a more 'business approach', and stick to one country/region, and possibly change the focus of it. These 6 years have been about 'my journey'. It probably wouldn't be about that, but for now I'm not thinking about it!

[@DejanKeepingitReal]

Your just an amazing person mate! Wishing you all the best in everything you do David! ❤️I teared up as you said your goodbyes! Thanks for hours and hours and hours of amazing content! All the best mate. God bless you!

Glad you're taking the time to fix yourself. You've made wonderful strides over the years. Sorry that I never crossed paths with you. Thanks for taking me places I wouldn't of imagined going and giving me a push to be more adventurous.

[@davidostrowski679]

Thanks Brett, any time! Crossing paths is exactly what I need to do, and to start building relationships with people again, which KZbin has kind of not allowed me to do! I'll be back in Mex next year for sure

Love you David, my mom was in hospital the month of December and shortly after she got home in January her boyfriend of 35 years died, then her dog, I will stop there, real life can suck, I wanted to Thank you so much for your beautiful videos and humor, you made my life happier, a ray of sunshine, I hope to see you pop up again, until then I wish you the absolute best life can offer, you deserve it.

[@williamcarter361]

It feels like one of my favourite bands have called it a day. Good luck to you in the future.

[@mica532]

David as an expert on remote Serbian places I can say you deserve an applause. You had awesome series there that I'm still catching up episodes every now and then. There are so many stuff to experience over your videos. These videos have me new ideas which I plan to implement on future trips there. Enjoy your new experiences, it was fun! 😎

[@frankuvlkan]

Hi Mica I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.

Love you mate all the best with whatever life has in store for you.

[@davidostrowski679]

Thanks man! Keep up going to these places no one knows about and keep being original and f*ck these cookie cutter basic b*tch channels haha you know what I mean. If we're ever in the same hood, hit me up!

[@EllisWR]

@@davidostrowski679 hahah don't worry mate don't think I could do things any other way I need to hide from the cookie cutters they make my blood pressure skyrocket, definitely be great to have a chinwag one day keep the world updated where you'll be at.

[@davidostrowski679]

If we accidentally ended up in Chiang Mai there'd be me hiding in a bush and you with a bag over your head eating street food LOL

[@EllisWR]

@@davidostrowski679 hahahah hilarious David mate, you should see the state of the buses going to chiang Mai from Bangkok we had to sit in the bus station all day the other day and we just silently observed the clownshow, and the staff repeatedly tried to put us on the chiang Mai bus, they couldn't believe we were getting on the bus to the middle of nowhere aha

[@davidostrowski679]

HOWLING! That was like me in Mexico...'bus to San Miguel de Allende?', 'no a desert town in the middle of nowhere, best regards'. I guess we can only send thoughts and prayers to these people LOL

[@jayne16]

Before I touch on the emotional bit, can anyone reading this please just take a moment to appreciate the forward planning, expert editing, and general bloody awesomeness that went in to making this video. I'm just blown away. David "hun", perhaps you should write for Dr. Who as your next project. I discovered this channel due to a shared love of Brutalism, and you've shown some epic pant-wetting examples. Concrete for life, baby! Hats off to you for turning your life around. For "getting off your fat arse and doing something about it". Thank you for sharing those six years with us, for making us laugh, for your brutal honesty, and for taking the road less travelled. You're an inspiration. Where are you meant to be? Exactly wherever you are. I believe the only thing you're 'meant' to do is follow your heart. David, thank you. It's been an absolute pleasure. With great appreciation and love, "catch ya later". ❤ P.S. To the person who commented 'boring' - I'm going to assume that you either don't know or understand about David's background and story and therefore the purpose of this video, or that 'boring' is a misnomer and the word had been incorrectly used due to a translation issue. I'm sure you're not intentionally being a c*ck.

[@davidostrowski679]

Jayne is top tier elite as always! Very few people recognise the work that goes into KZbin, particularly a video like this. I had the whole thing planned way back in Mexico, and having to refilm that Mexico speech multiple times was a nightmare as I'm not good at learning lines! Don't get me started on the bicarbonate of soda snorting acting LOL. Doing a community tab post with info on upcoming stuff! I think that 'boring' guy was referring to Zagreb itself, at least I hope so LOL

[@NickAdrianRandall]

Thanks David, been a joy watching these past few years. Very sentimental and well made last video. Bravo!

[@davidostrowski679]

Thanks Sebi! It was 6 months in the making!

Gracias Markas! I'll be back in Mexico next year, if I'm in Juarez again or come over to El Paso I'll give you a shout!

You are that B&%!!!!! 🙂I have absolutely loved your videos and watching your journeys. YOU are one of the main reasons I live in Mexico City now. While, selfishly, I'm sad to see this end, I am so thrilled for you! Much love and much success to you sir!

[@davidostrowski679]

Thanks Jim! It cracks me up that KZbin always bleeps out the word 'bi*ch* in the subtitles. In the UK it's really not offensive depending on the context! Brits like to swear LOL. I'll be back in Mexico next year definitely but without KZbin. I'm doing a community tab post today re future plans and how to keep in contact if necessary!

[@flashback1123]

I LOVED IT!♥ That intro! fabulous! and the rest too! The words of that U2 song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was weirdly playing in my mind, while watching this, and that's OK. The answer, for me, came when you said "I need to deal with and focus on myself/trauma" (self development etc) We can go around the world 100 times.... and lucky if we ever understand that. Good job on the series. Appreciate your hard work, filming, editing, story telling, drone flying, foreign language earning ... you have developed useful skills. Have a wonderful relaxing Christmas Mr! and the best for 2023 Will obviously remain subscribed and maybe see something new from u in the future xx

[@davidostrowski679]

I've definitely learnt an incredible amount as you say! That's been the greatest benefit. The point of the intro was to show that drastic change! I'll still be around in some format, I'll do a community tab post soon

The beginning of your future…. Spectacular ending…transition into the continuing evolution of your story…. And you. You gave us much to mull over, about you, and ourselves. Thank you.

[@davidostrowski679]

You got if hun! The last few years have been directly about me but indirectly about viewers!

[@AlasdairILoveOxford]

Only recently discovered your channel. It's good to see a solo traveller - like myself- doing these videos as most travel bloggers are couples who have a very different dynamic. If you ever visit Oxford, look me up!

Thanks David for all you have done. I wish you the best on your journey.

[@raulguadarrama8759]

Yo apreciaba mucho tus videos, espero algún día vuelvas. Valdría la pena que unos 5 o 10 años después hicieras este mismo viaje de 6 años a los mismos lugares y descubrir el cambio en el lugar, en las personas y en tu forma de comunicarlo a través del video. Muy nostálgico el final de tu video. Te deseo mucha suerte y mucho éxito en lo que sea tu nuevo emprendimiento. Ten por seguro que n México (CDMX) tienes tu casa cuando gustes. Saludos.

[@nuuttir]

This is my first ever KZbin comment and David I want to thank you for the exellent content done over the years. Having lived some 7-8 years as a "digital nomad" in CDMX (aka DF back then) during the first decade of 2000 I can relate to many of the challenges you have been facing. Even though I have travelled in MX (and elsewhere) quite a bit, I have really enjoyed your takes on modern and the less touristic parts of MX. I even used your Iztapalapa video about the cable car to show a friend originating from there ( but living in Finland) how it looks and feels. 😀 Also I believe I originally found your channel through an old friend from Acapulco who was impressed about your videos from Acapulco and was commenting them in FB. What I want to say with this, is that the content you have been producing has a lot of value also beyond the "obvious" target group and we will be dearly missing your videos and wit comments. I wish you all the best and in case you decide to make a comeback, please do let us know! Greetings from Helsinki

[@davidostrowski679]

Thank you! This means a lot. I often don't realise what an impact creating content can have and often forget that viewers may not be in the same position or have the opportunity to travel. Acapulco! I love hearing viewer origin stories! And Iztapalapa! Legendary! I'm not even contemplating a comeback right now, but as I've always said, it's always a possibility for the future. I just have to work out how I would do that and how I would not allow it to impact my experience or life in general. It would probably be very different, but for now, this 'journey' is over and I'm excited to see what comes next!

[@mr.anderson736]

I really liked the final speech while switching between countries, good editing right there. I'll miss your videos but I'm happy you can explore travelling without KZbin, I can see that being a huge weight lifted. You have so much content already, and everytime I visit a new city I rewatch your video on it (I'm in Durango MX and rewatching your video on that). You inspire and once again you're funny as fuck. If we cross paths on our travels I will gladly smoke a cig and drink some wine with you. Buena suerte amigo!

[@davidostrowski679]

Sounds like a plan Mr Anderson! It's a great point that there's so much content, it's not going anywhere and will remain! Weight lifted absolutely! It's almost as if I don't know how to travel without filming it and I'm looking forward to explore that. I'm about to do a community tab post with more detail on what's to come. Thanks re the final speech scene! That was a nightmare and I'm not good at acting! The first one was the Mexico part which I very much did off the cuff with no plan. I wrote down the speech and basically re-enacted parts in Belgrade, Zagreb and Kazanlak and spliced them all together!

[@veronicac792]

Ooh David! Wow, sad to see you go. I've enjoyed your journey through travel. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful holiday season. Wishing you greatness in all your endeavors.

So many thoughts on this. Thanks for sharing your life with us and showing us the world through your eyes. You are an amazing human and one of my best friends. Never doubt your worth or the inspiration you are to so many people. Your emotions and realness in this video were top tier elite, along with your Oscar performance there at the start and finish. That fancy tunnel looked like you were being reborn out of a fluffy purple, blue and white vajayjay. Weird but symbolic. It makes me happy that you will focus on you and your needs next. Remember, this was but a chapter, you have the whole rest of the book to come!! Love you bro!! But deep down, I know your ass will end up back in Mexico. Take care x

That's where I stayed in London the first time I went. I kind of remember that the subway station was Hounslow West. I could hear the rumbling Concorde 5 or 6 or more times a day. The subway trip to downtown London was long. And I don't remember much else. I remember the smell of the train stations, a little like Diesel or something but not much else.

[@davidostrowski679]

Ha you just described my 20s/30s! My closest station was Hounslow Central, and I used to get that train into central/east London every day for work. I remember once on the tube, some black crap like coal flew through the window and I got covered in it! Concorde! When I lived in Feltham down the road, my bedroom windows used to shake when I was a kid when Concorde took off as we lived just south of the flight path!

[@fredericktmiller]

Merry Christmas! I didn't expect to listen to A Rainy Night in Soho at 1am in Washington DC on Christmas morning...I think this is the most unusual night I've experienced in Washington. All three bars in my neighborhood, Cleveland Park were closed before midnight. I caught a ride to another neighborhood that would have had some choices before Covid. Two places were open and I went to one for a couple. The other was clubbier than my desire. Then, Dupont Circle - the part my nice taxi driver took me by - was closed. He suggested an Ethiopian place in another neighborhood since Coptic Christmas in on January 7, but I was done and I suspect they were too. Streets as quiet as could be. It was -11C in DC on Christmas Eve - but really! I haven't been out in six weeks and this was the quietest Saturday night in history. It makes me wonder about Washington DC and, hence, my country. Maybe just a spiteful comment from a guy who wanted to drink. Part of me would have liked to be at a midnight service, since I believe in the reason for Christmas. It's strange in a way that the various explanations don't answer. Enough about my perplexity! Merry Christmas! I looked up Christmas Day in Bulgaria and saw they follow the Western day - today! I saw Serbia is January 7. Maybe Bosnia gets two Christmases - but is everything quiet twice? I take this as my personal lesson about the author of our existence - the one through whom everything and we were made - becoming a weak baby. The creche. Still damned weird. Again, good luck with your plans. I like the way you speak on KZbin, which must be a part of you. I've lived in the same building for over 20 years and am just finding myself. While my faith is the anchor, I still search, and I hope that I have a plan that will be a good path. Your path - post London at least - is rich! Your communications and English work online not only have supported you a but have helped you learn and other people think. Communication is surely in your future!. I sense you're trying to find a calm that you or I might consider to be home. Not everyone is given home on a platter. But don't be afraid of settling on something - whether a place or an idea. We all need to. You're figuring it out! Maybe a Happy 2023 will help! Sounds like a lucky number!

[@pizon984]

You have gotten my mind blown by the first minute of this video... My gosh... Whish you all the best mate and to come back and visit us again. Anyway I feel a bit connected with your home country since I work for Sainsbury's as a tech support remotely from Serbia 😀, but who gives a shite...

[@davidostrowski679]

No way brate! I worked for Tesco as an HR Manager... main competitor haha! Yes that beginning part was meant to shock and of course was absolute acting lol, I don't even really have that accent anymore. And it was bicarbonate of soda from the supermarket!

[@dianakurland2500]

This was so good; ok, now how do we keep from losing you forever? I’ll be in Berlin in April and Northern Ireland, London, Glasgow and Edinburgh. How to meet up with you?

[@davidostrowski679]

I don't really know where I'll be from next month, taking it easy! I'll still be on Insta for the time being and will have some announcements about the future on Christmas Day

[@bojanpalink5471]

This looks like new year new me...shit...actually it's interesting that you post the last video for new year....the time when we all pretend to each other...how happy we are and live a contented life...........Sao Paulo....Užice ....reminds me of London, Paris, Peckham.. thing

[@davidostrowski679]

Haha as if I would do new year new me bullshit. It's just a coincidence that it's uploaded now. Some of this was filmed 6 months ago lol

[@chicagomike]

I was there 30 years ago and it didn’t seem very different,And yes, it’s ziveli in Serbia and zivjeli in Croatia. Pronunciation is slightly different.

[@nornironnomad]

Do you have any advice for someone just starting out on their KZbin journey? Is it worth it?

[@nicob7492]

Really curious about what you’re up to next! Will you write an update on this channel perhaps?

[@davidostrowski679]

I've got a few plans but for once I'm taking a little break over Christmas! I'll probably post something on the community tab in a few days!

[@fredericktmiller]

I have tried to find your voice in other areas, but I'm not skilled. Or you may be quiet. Good for you! I just wonder whether San Luis Potosi is the land-bound Lisbon of northwester Mexico and maybe some bored middle-class Portuguese who don't realize how good they got it might find a retirement home in San Luis. And how many middle-class Mexicans might like Lisbon! Wearing big sombreros tends to be a "thing we don't do" in the USA. This is a crucial point for college kids full of the power of language. Maybe a party country like Mexico sees the party side of the sombrero! And I wish party times for you!

[@fredericktmiller]

It doesn't require being drunk to party and laugh. It does require seeing the vast area even bigger than sorrow that laugher controls

[@davidostrowski679]

I've disappeared for a while Fred! I'm not even posting Instagram stories much. I mentioned in one of my last videos about wanting to be 'invisible' after having to be visible on social media for years. So far it's been so healthy and I'm discovering who I am without being my KZbin character. Hope you're doing well Fred!

[@milenailic1437]

I will miss you!

[@Resmith18SR]

Hi David, Hope you're doing well wherever you are now. Ever consider traveling with someone?

[@davidostrowski679]

Hey man, I did years ago way before KZbin. I hated it lol. Since 2006 - always solo

[@dasjackal666]

Have you thought about coming back 1 year later for an update?

[@bojanpalink5471]

What I notice from your videos....is folowing...Living in the Eastern Bloc in the 80's....wasn't too bad....compared to London...we weren't that far behind.... I was also surprised by the stories of my aunt, who was born in London...because in the 60s...they lived a shitty life in London...my idea was that we are light years behind life in London.....but that was not the case

[@davidostrowski679]

This is a topic that has always fascinated me and one reason Serbia feels like home! 50s to 70s UK is a period I'm fascinated by as it was just before I was born (82). I think by the 80s, despite there still being many issues with poverty, unemployment, protests etc, things had started to improve, and by the 90s things were far more stable. My sister was born in a caravan during the '3 day week' in 1974 when you could only use electricity for 3 days (coal miners' strikes). I think it was better for people in London than elsewhere in the country. The rise of postwar suburbia and the growth of London was immense

[@bojanpalink5471]

@@davidostrowski679 well in 90s balkan went thru hard time war period....if there would be no war....we would be in much better shape.

[@davidostrowski679]

absolutely. I remember as a kid watching on the news. Everything was 'ethnic cleansing' being mentioned every 5 minutes. I don't remember much about the NATO bombings being covered though, although I could be mistaken, I was at college probably revising for exams at the time so news wasn't really my focus. I think I said in one of my first Serbia videos in 2019, there was never any focus on the impact of all this on the average Serb, always Serbia being viewed in a negative light. Thankfully I now know more!

Оказывается, у тебя славянская фамилия! Я как-то упустил это. Братан, привет из Ягодины.

[@davidostrowski679]

это фамилия моего дедушки (из Польши) и девичья фамилия моей матери. моя настоящая фамилия английская, но она очень похожа на фамилию известного футболиста, так что я использую польскую фамилию около 15 лет! Надеюсь, у Ягодины все хорошо!

Hi Mommy K I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement.
